Wow, am I tired! Today the team worked really hard at the farm of Action Zambia. We started with breakfast and devotions and then went out to the field to start a day of work. Kelli went with Megan of Action Zambia got trees for the farm and other supplies that were needed. The rest of us worked on digging a 16 x 5 foot hole in the ground for a pit latrine which is a portable toilet for the Zambians. Also our big hole is 3 feet deep with 6 to go. By the way, this has to be 9 feet deep!!! To say that we are exhausted is an understatement. The other half of the team pulled down the roofing of the Insaka (which is a big thatched roof meeting place). We got half of it down and we will get the other half later. Throughout the day we all took turns playing with the kids in the neighborhood, which is always the highlight of the day. We also got the opportunity to meet Tracy and Karen Singleton, leader of the Pastoral Leadership Development at Action Zambia. They also worked hard with us all day and then finished off the day eating of bowl of Karen’s famous chili and cornbread. Tonight will be a great night to sleep! Megan just brought a bowl filled with different parts of a chicken like a chicken foot, liver, intestine, head, finished off with a stick of fresh sugar cane. YUMMY!
